“……传统的审美和文学形式以及数学概念，来传达算法的工作原理，并使读者确信其结果是正确的。”——Donald E. Knuth，《Selected Papers on Computer Science》。注意这里用的是“human beings”（人类，复数），所以不仅仅指写代码的那个人。
…traditional aesthetic and literary forms as well as mathematical concepts, to communicate the way that an algorithm works and to convince a reader that the results will be correct.” ― Donald E. Knuth, Selected Papers on Computer Science Notice "human beings", plural; so not just the person who's writing the code.

……伴随着文明发展，追随那些提出过重大新“烧脑题”（mind-benders）的先驱们的脚步。多年前我写过一篇文章，探讨“玩具问题有用吗？”（Are toy problems useful?）[重印为《Selected Papers on Computer Science》第 10 章]，我在文中较详细地阐述了自己的观点：老师如果能为学生提供精心挑选的趣味智力题，对学生的帮助是最大的。从那以后我一直秉承这一理念，最近……
…footsteps of the pioneers who have come up with significant new “mind-benders” as civilization developed. Many years ago I wrote an essay that asked “Are toy problems useful?” [reprinted as Chapter 10 in Selected Papers on Computer Science] in which I discussed at some length my view that students are best served by teachers who present them with well-chosen recreational problems. And I've carried on in the same vein ever since, most recently…
